Thread 'Naomi Pi 'WiPi Netbooter' - compatible with Pi 3&4'

I've ported my previous WiFi netbooter image, a rewrite of devtty0's work to DietPi so it's now compatible with Pi 3B, 3B+ and Pi 4 with integrated support for both 16x2 LCD screens and 480x320 3.5 inch touchscreen LCDs. I've also fixed a few outstanding issues, it's now much quicker to establish a connection and the auto power off feature is working as it should. The aim is to continue to add functionality over time.

Features:
  • Memory check bypass for faster game loading
  • Time hack - no need to use a zero pic on a Naomi/Naomi 2
  • Multiple netdimm support per system (Naomi, Naomi...

So I finally got the games to show up on the PI, I pinged the Netdimm it said ping success, but once I finally decided to load the game I get this error "No system defined". So close yet so far.

I'll definitely consider this, just wanna understand how to get the old way working first.
 
How do I turn off the camera and card reader for Mario Kart arcade GP 1? Can't seem to find it in the test menu anywhere. I don't even see the option to throw it on free play, all I can do is make it more expensive to play.

All that's left is to figure out the FFB situation. I believe I need to change one of these?

yeah - I think its 4 maybe? You only have 4 choices - I remember that it was just one that needed to be flipped.

Yep flipping the 4th one worked, also I noticed in GP2 I can make the item button the view button aswell, but I don't think that option is in the first GP game.
 
I just wanna play GP1 so I don't have to deal with that annoying announcer, GP2 is almost unplayable until I get the card reader. I just wish there was a way to assign the item button to the view button on the Maxi 3 cab like I can in GP2.

Got my friend playing the cabinet, and the Triforce is working great, although I can't help but notice these visible black looking scan lines that sometimes appear on the screen, they aren't that annoying but it definitely has me alittle worried that something in the hardware is defective, I know it's not the monitor doing it cause I also noticed it on my LCD monitor upstairs, I'm gonna try the second video port to see if that makes a difference.

yeah - looks like an interference pattern to me - or bad caps on the triforce. I assume the Chihiro didn't have those?

If your talking about the left side that's not a problem at all, thats just how the monitor looks through the picture I took, the actual issue I'm having is this, if you look closely at the top you can see this black line that sometimes appears, I'm thinking possibly bad caps. But after my last failed Attempt I'm kinda scared, although it might be worth looking inside to see if any of them or bulged or leaking.

You can see the same black line shows up on my monitor upstairs, so it's definitely a hardware thing.

Also I unfortunately I haven't received my Chihiro yet, but I am getting alittle concerned if its gonna fit in the cab, the N2 is already a bit tight and the Chihiro looks a bit bigger.
 
Ahhhhhh - ok, yeah - that is pretty slight - you won't even notice it in the game!

And yeah - the Chihiro is a little tight, but mine fit!!! Is your cab setup so its all in the back (under the monitor) or is it under the seat? Mine is under the monitor, in the back.
